Claims.

The invention relates to arrows used in archery.

It is an object of the invention to provide an arrow which is constructed to provide a spring action in addition to the impetus received from the bow string so as to increase the trajectory force of the arro-w.

A further object constitutes the provision of an improved nook which provides resiliency so as to obtain a greater impetus with less effort than possible with known arrows.

A still further object constitutes the provision of a nook which may be readily applied to existing arrows, and which obviates the drag normally existing when shooting the arrow.

With these and other objects in view. which will become apparent from `a perusal of the invention, the latter comprises the means described in the following specification, particularly pointed out in the claims forming a part thereof, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 5 is a view of a bow and arrow, and

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary end View of the bow string and arrow.

Referring to the several views in the drawing, I D designates a rigid bow, to the ends of which is secured a cord or string II.

The arrow generally designated by I2 oomprises a shaft I3, a pointed end I4 secured to the shaft in any appropriate or preferred manner.

The parts thus far described are standard equipment and form no part of the invention.

I claim:

l. An arrow terminating in a pair of leaf springs, each spring being folded inwardly t0 terminate adjacent the end of the arrow, said leaf springs being arranged within the tubular plane defined by the arrow.

2. An arrow comprising a shaft, a sleeve mounted on one end of said shaft and formed with integral arms extending longitudinally, said arms being folded inwardly and terminating adjacent said sleeve. Y

3. An arrow comprising a shaft, a sleeve mounted on one end of said shaft, spaced arms extending longitudinally from said sleeves, said arms being bent inwardly and toward said sleeve to form concave-convex spring portions.

4. An attachment for arrows comprising a sleeve, and spaced arms extending longitudinally from said sleeve, said arms being bent inwardly and toward said sleeve to form a nock.

5. A nook member comprising a sleeve, and integral spaced arms extending longitudinally from sai-d sleeve, said arms being folded toward said sleeve and terminating in curved portions to provide a nook.
